I remember my parents coming home from garage sales with comic digests (Peanuts, Archie, Garfield, Family Circus, Dennis the Menace, Andy Capp)
I remember when the best thing in life was Saturday morning cartoons (Smurfs, Scooby Doo, DC Superfriends, Spiderman, Flintstones, Looney Toons)
I remember watching music videos when they first became popular (Micheal Jackson, Madonna, Duran Duran, Eurythmics, Men at Work, Cyndi Lauper )
I remember seeing Prince Charles and Lady Di on their Canadian Royal Visit.
I remember being allowed to stay up late to watch bad horror movies about Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, Werewolves, The Invisible Man, and the occasional alien invasion.
I remember doing many stupid and dangerous things that I sincerely hope my kids will never do.
I remember being excited about watching new episodes of Three's Company, Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, Taxi, and a new show called Cheers.
I remember when it was almost acceptable for husbands and fathers to come home from work six hours late without notice, reeking of alcohol and trying hard to explain what happened to the week's wages.
